The Last of II Heroic Family.

PaymastCr Milton Buckingham Cush-
ing died at his residence in Dunkirk
\. T., last week. Ho was the last Of
the famous Gushing family, one of four
brothers who entered largely in the his
tory of their country, to whose service
they devoted themselves. OF n family
OF live brothers and two sisters, four
brothers and one sister survived. Two
OF the brothers entered the navy and two
the army. All died in the service, and
their mother, now of the age of seventy
eight, survives all. The Gushing name
IS familiar to all who are acquainted
with the history Of the war. The most
famous OF the four was, perhaps, Com
mander WIN. Il. Gushing, OF the navy.
Oi his many exploits during the war.
the sinking of tho Confederate ram
Albcrmarlc Ill the Roanoke River in
October, 1864, was the greatest. He
became commander in the navy, but
did not survive the war. He is buried
Mt Annapolis. Alonzo IL. Cushing,
another brother, graduated from West
Point, and received commission as
lieutenant of artillery. He was killed
ut Gettysburg, where he commanded q
battery. He was buried in the West
Point Cemetery. Howard b. Cushing,
another brother, was killed by Indians
IN Arizona while serving as lieutenant
OF regulars. He entered the regular SER
vice from the volunteers, with whom he
enlisted during the war. Paymaster M,
Is. Gushing, who has just died, was the
oldest of the four. He entered the navy
at the outbreak OF the late war, and had
Il record of twcnty-siX years, making him
one OF the Oldest in the service. His
last active service was as paymaster of
the Mediterranean fleet in 1879. Since
then he has been incapacitated for SER
vice.

Am Idaho Editor and u burglar.
(staohopo Sans in the Augusta Chrfn'c'e)

owe wish to return our sincere
thanks" says tho editor of an Idaho
paper, ''to the enterprising but mis-
guided burglar who broke into our resi-
dence night before last under the I'M
preston that he was cracking the crib
of the druggist who lives next door. He
entered at window and carefully re-
moved his boots, setting them down on
the floor. To this circumstance and to
the fact that we saw him come in we are
indebted for the first good pair of boots
VIC have had in ten years. While he was
ransacking the house we quietly slipped
ont of bed and exchanged our old boots
for his and then went back to bed and
fell asleep. How long he was in the
house we do not know, but the presump-
ton is that when he went away he took
the old boots. They have been missing
ever since, and there was nothing else
to take"

Somo years ago there was n country
gentleman in Dcrbyshirc who met with
terrible rcvcrsCs, and was bcrcft OF wife
and son, only Il daughter about twelve
years of age being left him. relates Il
writer in Ca9sc!Is Magazine for Decem-
bcr. ncIghOOr sent II few chairs ana
u couple OF beds into Un empty cottage
so that the father and child might have
roof over their heads, but could do no
more, though She would have gladly
have Kept the little girl, who, however,
insisted that she must be at home in the
new house to welcome hnr father, and
make him as comfortable as she could.
The Ouly possession she had clune to
was small rosewood wOrkboX, which
Lad belonged to her dead mother and
when left alone to await her fathers re-
turn from the county town, she opened
her wOrkboX and sat down with her
needle like II little old woman. 1t was n
warm autumn afternoon when she thus
settled herself but i'll tho course of an
hour heavy rain came on, which lasted
the whole evening, and it was long after
dark when she heard her fathers weary
footsteps approaching and ioyfully
opened the door to let him in. lie was
wet through, and almost broken hearted,
Il thoroughly beaten mal, and the child's
one idea was that cup of tea would
comfort him. She had been provided
with the tea and the pot to make it in,
and kettle and everything necessary
for simple meal, but her despair may
be imagined when she found that there
was not particle of fuel in the house.
The sight of her father sitting shiyering,
with his face buried in his hands, was
inspiration to her and as quick as
thought she broke up her workbox,
pulled out the slight divisions for cot,
tons, etc, set light to them on the
hearth, added tho thicker pieces as soon
as the fame was strong enough, boiled
the kettle and made the hot cup OF tea.
There was something sublime about that
child's mother-wit and devotion. New

Sounding the Alarm.

The Jacksonville Times Union saws
the tourist travel is being diverted to n
considerable extcnt from Florida to Cal
lfOrnia, and asserts that scarcely any
cilolts have been made to secure for
Florida the attention at the North to
which it may partly lay claim. 1t furth.
cr says that the diversion to California
has been made by systematic and
thorough advertising of it. attractions
and by the hberality of railroads in
granting extremely low figures to travel
crs to the Pacific coast. A convention
OF the hotel men of Florida was held at
Jacksonville last Wednesday and action
to avert the disaster which threatens
them by tho diversions of the travel
which has for several seasons crowded
the hotels of the cities and towns in
Florida. The Times Union says the
railroads and the hotel mon must reduce
their rates, and that these reductions
and the advantages of Florida must be
advertised in thorough and intelligent
manner.

The Right to Blacklist.

In the city court at New Haven, Conn,
Saturday, Judge Pickett rendered de-
clsion IN the cases of William H. Wal

New York, New Haven and Hartford
Rallroad, and Stacy Z. Opdykc, super
lntcndcnt Of the New Haven and
northampton Road. accused of conspira
cy by Thomas +. Meany, who charged
them with Establishing" him. The &C.
cused were fined $50 each They will
undoubtedly appeal from the decision.
The udge, i'll his decision, said that he
was clearly Of the opinion that a con
Splracy designed to hinder any man
from putting his labor on the market
when, where and for such compensation
as he may agree for is equally criminal
With any conspiracy designed to hinder
the sale of merchandise Of any producer
or dealer, and is more disastrous in
elect than any other form Of conspiracy
except that to take life. To convict Of
such conspiracy circumstantial evidence
Is competent and may be conclusive. 1t
Is sufficient if it is shown that the parties
had mutual understanding to the com
mon design and the part each was to
perform III the attainment thereof The
court was satisfied that Wallace and
Opdyke had mutual understanding
that a man not approved by ono should
not be employed by the other. This

The Famous Moon story.

The moon story, which appeared in
the fall of 1888, in the columns Of the
New York Sun, was the most gigantic
newspaper hoax ever pcrpctratcd. 1t
was known that Sir John Herschci had
gone 10 tho Cape of Good Hope, to
make observations with the now instru.
ments of extraordinary power. Then
there appeared series of papers de-
scribing what Sir John had discovered.
They purported to be copied from the
pages OF supplement to the Ediuburg
(Scotand) Journal of Science, exclusive
copies OF which had been received Mt the
Sun Office
1t was known that the atmosphere OF
the Cape of Good Hope is unequallcd
for purity, ard OF course has CORE
spending facility OF astronomical OBJ
scrvation, and when it was stated that
nobody among us could undertake to
deny, especially as it was said to be con
iirmcd by actual observation, that the
great object glass of the astronomer 3
chief telegraph was lens of seven tons
weight no great wonder was felt if the
results from its use were unexampled.
1t was said, then, in the alleged report
of the great discoveries, that so great
was the magnifying power of this in
strument $4,000 times) that it could
impart to objects at the distance of the
moon a degree of visibility equal to that
enjoyed by objects on our earth not
more than one hundred yards off. This
put it within st. Johns power to view,
not only the larger class of natural OBJ
jects in the moon, but to see with ease
the dwellings, animals, and even persons
OF the Lunarians, which he accordingly
described. Ben. Perley Pooro in Man.
